Re: 1957 frame dimension ?
Ok my frame is 34 inch wide but the frame rails are 2 1/4 wide at the front axle ,so it makes a distance of 29 1/2 .
so that means that a 3100 frame is only 2 inch wide ?? this info is for a installation of a mustang II crossmember Because the crossmember i receive is only 29 inch wide |

Re: 1957 frame dimension ?
Now according to my 58 manual it shows the 3600 as 34 " wide allso<I would get ahold of company that you are going to use and ask them.I would think that it would at least be 29 3/8th wide ,but I'm wrong most of the time.

Re: 1957 frame dimension ?
